'We look physically very different': Junaid Khan discusses being Aamir Khan's son

Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, recently shared his perspective on whether belonging to a film family brings more pressure or privilege. He acknowledged the advantages of his background but stated that he has not felt significant pressure because of it.

In an interview with The Indian Express, Junaid said, “I haven’t actually felt so much pressure about it. It has not really come up so much around me—like with my family, and friends, and people I work with. I don’t think it has really come up so much. There are lots and lots of privileges. But yeah….maybe moving forward.”

Junaid also pointed out that their contrasting physical traits make it less obvious to people that he is Aamir Khan’s son. “I guess Papa also looks very young. Most people are not able to comprehend ki unka itna bada beta hai. We look also physically very different. I’m like twice his size. So yeah, I have not had it around me so much,” he added.

Khushi Kapoor’s Perspective

Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, also addressed the duality of privilege and pressure. She admitted to initially feeling the weight of expectations but later overcoming it.

She explained that pressure exists when one imposes it on themselves, and external comparisons are inevitable given their family backgrounds. However, she emphasized that confidence and conviction help in overcoming doubts and proving one’s capabilities.

Loveyapa’s Release

Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor made their big-screen debut with Loveyapa, which was released in theaters on February 7. The film features Kiku Sharda, Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, Devishi Mandan, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Nikhil Mehta, and Jason Tham among others.
